Bordallo Statement on Passing of Former Lieutenant Governor Frank F. Blas, Sr.

Washington, D.C. – Congresswoman Madeleine Z. Bordallo today issued the following statement on the passing of former Lieutenant Governor Frank F. Blas, Sr.

“Frank Blas, Sr. was a dear friend and I’m deeply saddened by his passing. He was a faithful public servant who dedicated his life to making Guam a better place. As a former Lieutenant Governor and Senator in our Legislature, Frank worked tirelessly to improve the lives of all who call Guam home. I worked with him during my time in the Legislature, and later during our respective terms as Lieutenant Governor of Guam. He always demonstrated thoughtful consideration of legislation and the policy proposals we considered and did what was best for our island. In my role as Guam’s Delegate to Congress, I appreciated the firm advocacy and support that he, and his son Senator Frank Blas Jr., had for recognizing Guam’s World War II survivors.

“I join the people of Guam in mourning Frank’s passing and honoring his untiring service to our island. I extend my condolences to his wife Tina and the entire Blas family. My thoughts and prayers are with them during this difficult time.”
